Anthology of Interest II
"Anthology of Interest II" is the eighteenth episode in the third season of the American animated television series Futurama, and the 50th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 6, 2002. This episode, as well as the earlier "Anthology of Interest I", serves to showcase three "imaginary" stories.
Professor Farnsworth hauls out his What-If Machine again, fine-tunes it, and the crew takes a look at three alternative realities.
Bender asks what would happen if he were human. In the simulation, Professor Farnsworth invents a process of reverse fossilization, which can turn robots and machines into organic life forms. He uses his process on Bender, who is transformed into a human. After a short period of adaptation, Bender's self-control is overwhelmed by his new senses of taste and touch, and he goes on a binge of eating, smoking, partying, and drinking alcohol.
At the Nobel Prize awards ceremony one week later, the Professor presents Bender, who is now morbidly obese and in terrible health. The committee initially condemns Farnsworth, but Bender begs them to consider his lifestyle. This inspires the scientists to spend the night in a state of wild hedonism. The following day, the hungover committee awards Bender the Nobel Prize in Chemistry but discovers that he died shortly after the party began. The Planet Express crew then sadly roll away Bender's corpse.
Fry asks to see a world that is more like a video game. In the simulation, the President of Earth Richard Nixon is about to sign a treaty with the Nintendian ambassador Kong of the planet Nintendu 64, but Kong attacks Nixon and a state of war erupts. Due to his extensive knowledge of video games from the 20th century, Fry is brought into the Milatari headquarters in Washington, D.C. and introduced to Milatari general Colin Pac-Man. Before Fry can impart his wisdom to Milatari, the Nintendians launch an attack on the city, and they are forced into the escape tunnels to New New York, which resemble a Pac-Man board.
They emerge outside the Planet Express building, where the Nintendian invaders, led by Omicronian ruler Lrrr, are laying waste to New New York. Fry situates himself at the controls of a rolling anti-aircraft artillery platform and begins destroying the Nintendian ship, but Colin is killed during the battle and Fry is unable to destroy Lrrr's Nintendian ship. The Nintendians emerge and demand "a million allowances' worth of quarters" to do their laundry. The crew initially refuses, but the two sides reach a compromise in which the Nintendians will throw their laundry in with Earth's.
Leela asks what would have happened if she had found her true home. However, when the lever is pulled to start the simulation, it hits Leela on the head and knocks her unconscious, causing her to dream a parody of The Wizard of Oz with Leela as Dorothy, Nibbler as Toto, Amy as Glinda the Good Witch, Mom as the Wicked Witch of the West, Fry as the Scarecrow, Bender as the Tin Man, Zoidberg as the Cowardly Lion, Hermes as the Guard and Professor Fansworth as the Wizard.
Leela and Nibbler, while riding in the Planet Express ship, are taken by a tornado to Oz. The ship's landing gear lands on the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her. Leela takes the witch's magic boots from her corpse and puts them on since it is hard to find footwear in her size. She asks Amy for help getting back home, and Amy tells her that only the Professor at the Emerald Laboratory can send her home. Leela is joined in her quest by Fry, Bender, and Zoidberg. Wicked Witch Mom captures them all and asks Leela to be her daughter. Leela happily agrees, but when Bender opens a celebratory bottle of champagne, the spilled liquid causes Mom to melt into nothing. They resume their journey to the Emerald Laboratory, where the Professor tells Leela to click her bootheels together and wish to be sent back home. Instead, she uses them to become a witch, turning Fry, Bender, and the Professor into toads. However, a toilet overflow in the upstairs bathroom (caused by Zoidberg's use of it) leaks through the ceiling and onto Leela, causing her to melt. She wakes up to find Bender splashing water in her face and berates the crew for ruining her wonderful dream. The Professor is disappointed to see Leela alive, as he had intended to harvest her organs.
